All About Home Addresses

Is there any duration guideline that I need to stay in the new address? Or as long as when July registration my house is the new address will do? Meaning in June my IC is changed to the new address.

My friend told me that I need to stay in that property for 1 year prior to registration and too late for me to hunt for a house now. True?
Thanks.

they will just based on the address on your NRIC then, or it can also be a new purchase yet to shift in address.

In short, based on adddress to register in P1 registration. :shock:

Hi,


If it’s a yet-to-shift in address, and I cannot move in soon as I’ve currently rented it out, than what are the documents to show?

probably proof of ownership and the rental contract (to prove expiry date).



any KS Parents had similar experience to advise?

Hi Koppie,

If you are talking about changing the address on your ic even though you are not staying inside immediately, you can go to https://www.psi.gov.sg/NASApp/tmf/TMFServlet?app=CSC-NRO-OPAD to request for a pre-notification letter. This letter will be sent to your new address. With this, you can then go to police post to update your home address.

koppie should NOT update the address on his\her NRIC as that of the rented out property as koppie is not staying there yet. It is against the law and can be charged for wrongful declaration.

Agreed. Update of NRIC will mean automatic update of contact address to various govt agencies - I think IRAS, CPF is included. My guess (haven't tried that out), is that the mail will go to this address.....I dunno what the tenant will think when he open the mail to see his landlord's income.


Anyway, there are penalties associated with non/wrong updating. After the ah-long incidents, I think govt is taking a fiercer stance.

The link was to update if documents are required, but may not be here (eg phone bill/bank statement not yet arrived). Govt provides a way by which pp can update their address.

My auntie, staying with her son & DIL, had to update her address when they shift house. But becos she wasn't one of the owners, there was some difficulty when they went to the police post. Quite drama lah.

Just wondering, If i have a unit that is within 1km of a popular school in marine parade and currently it’s vacant inter terrace, 1 traffic to TNS, 2min to CHIJ Primary etc (no need to cross any roads), 1km to NAPS. Rather old unit…what is the likelihood that parents would be interested to rent?


ie. i’m asking to check if respond is good before i consider spending time and money to renovate the unit for personal stay since i’m out of the country most of the time

MOE guideline, you must move in that rented property before the kid started P1, that is 1 Jan 20xx. Hope this helps.
